To whom it may concern … GE would like to propose simplifying the compliance wording associated with this AD in order to avoid any confusion as to the requirements of this directive. For Docket No. FAA-2012-1288; Directorate Identifier 2012-NE-37-AD, we recommend paragraph (f) to change as follows: (f) Remove OBVs <ADD> All applicable OBVs must be removed from service within two years after the effective date of this AD. <DELETE> (1) For OBVs with fewer than 6,000 operating hours since new on the effective date of this AD, remove the OBV from service before accumulating 12,000 operating hours since new, or within four years after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first. (2) For OBVs with 6,000 or more operating hours since new on the effective date of this AD, remove the OBV from service before accumulating an additional 6,000 operating hours, or within two years after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first.
